The contribution of weak CAM to the photosynthetic metabolic activities of a bromeliad species under water deficit
Published in Plant physiology and biochemistry (01-02-2018)“…The Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) can be a transitory strategy for saving water during unfavourable conditions, like a dry season. In some cases, CAM can…”
